October Wrap up

I can't believe October is over already, where are the days going. I'll be wrapping up some of my Group themes and creating new ones for November as well as summing up the books I've read in October providing Links to my Reviews.

All in all October was a very good month for me, a lot of new authors were read and some old favorites. Here are My October Reads:


My favorite for the month was definitely the Adoration of Jenna Fox, it was just a very well written book and I loved the uniqueness of the story. I would like to read more my Pearson.

The following are the group themes and/or challenges that are now closed.

BOOKTIVITY HALLOWEEN THEME Wrap Up

The 5th Horseman by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Headless Horseman)
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (Princess costume)

PBT OCT TAG: CONTEMPORARY FICTION

PBT OCT ADMIN TAG: DEBUT
Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger

PBT OCT TAG: OTHER
The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
The 6th Target by James Patterson

I was disappointed that I didn't read anything from the Author Author choices this month as I have a few in my TBR pile. I did however attempt to read Never Let Her Go by Ishiguro and couldn't get through it. I felt like something was wrong with me because so many people rated this book 5 stars that I thought I may as well not finish it now and some other day try again.

AUTHOR AUTHOR

Kazuo Ishiguro
Kurt Vonnegut
Philip K Dick

November brings new themes and challenges from my groups and here they are:

If you read any book with something in the title you would want to thank for please post your review for this book here.)

PBT Nov Tag: Thriller (Books that are tagged Thriller on Shelfari.com) - I have a lot of thrillers in my TBR pile , so hopefully I'll hit this a lot this month.

PBT Nov Tag: Other (Books read that are not tagged Thriller on Shelfari.com)
